The Lie of History

It's February 1st and it's so called Black History Month. Since we are full on in the Age of Aquarius which is the age of expanded knowledge I figure instead of giving u a list of so called black ppl I admire I'd give u something 2 make u think. U might wonder why I say so called when referring 2 black and Native Americans that's because lies have been told regarding both.

Many of my fellow melanated beings have probably heard black ppl aren't covered by the constitution. I always wondered what that meant and have come 2 find out it's true. Why is it true u may ask well it's because there's no such thing as black ppl. Black is not a nationality or ethnicity so it's doesn't exist. African American is a term made up by Jesse Jackson in 1989. I was 9 yrs old and had no clue that term didn't exist all my life.

Something else interesting I've learn over the last yr is older melanated beings weren't taught about the slave trade in school us being brought from Africa is something new 2 them. I've never felt African I've never felt a connection 2 the conteniet and after doing my family tree there's no Africans or slaves thus far.

Let's 4 a second talk about the term History it's His Story meaning the victor tells his accounts of what happened and the loser goes home. If this term meant an accurate description of past events why isn't it call Ourstory?

Some of u may have heard the Rainbow Children album some may not have because there are probably 21ers and ppl pretending 2 be fans but really only follow an ex wife and u know which 1.

The song Family Name is a great jam but also informative. 1 verse says Teacher Teacher what u say did I really come over in a boat did it really go down that way or did I arrive before u and ruin Thanksgiving day oh Teacher what u say?!

The research of Dane Calloway has made the ppl keeping records of the so called slave trade 2 change the amount of Africans take from 12.5 to 92,000 of which only 3-5% ever made it 2 North America which is roughly 5,000 ppl. This means most of us aren't African Americans most are Indigenous Americans or European Americans yes that is correct. Most European countries were described as Swarty which means having a dark complexion.

Many of u believe Barack Obama was our first black president which is not true.
